Drill out the linkage holes in the servo output arms to 2 mm Ø.
The noseleg steering system is fitted as follows: install the swivel pushrod connector
in the nosewheel steering lever as shown in the photo, ensuring that the connector
rotates smoothly, but without noticeable slop. Apply a drop of UHU schraubensicher
(thread-lock fluid) to prevent it working loose.
Press the servo output arm onto the rudder servo, running the nosewheel steering
pushrod through the cross-hole in the pushrod connector.
Set the servo to centre from the transmitter. Set the nosewheel and rudder to neutral
(centre), and tighten the cheesehead screw onto the noseleg pushrod to clamp it.
Mark the length of the rudder pushrod.
Use a pair of flat-nose pliers to bend the rudder pushrod at right-angles, and cut off
the excess rod length leaving about 1.5 mm projecting beyond the retainer clip.
Connect the pushrod to the servo output arm, and snap the retainer clip into place to
prevent it coming adrift. Connect and secure the elevator pushrod in the same way.
Any inaccuracies in bending the pushrods can be corrected later by screwing the
pushrod in or out.
The electric motor should be installed using the motor mount supplied in the kit. Glue
it and the U-shaped former to the nose bulkhead using plenty of white glue.
Attach the propeller adaptor and the metal motor bracket to the electric motor (see
left-hand photo).
Allow the white glue to set hard, then fix the electric motor and the motor bracket to
the hardwood motor mount using the screws and captive nuts supplied with the
bracket. Apply a drop of UHU schraubensicher (thread-lock fluid) to each screw to
prevent them shaking loose.
Fix the speed controller to the inside of the right-hand fuselage side using double-
sided foam tape. Connect the speed controller to the motor using the three in-line
connectors, and check that the motor spins in the correct direction before fitting the
cowl.
If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, swap over any two of the connections
between the motor and the controller.
Before you attach the cowl, apply adhesive tape to the fuselage, so that the end of
the cowl can be marked on it. Slide the cowl onto the fuselage and position it with the
motor output shaft exactly in the centre of the front opening (you can check this by
fitting the spinner backplate). You will need to file out a slot for the noseleg in the
underside of the moulding.
When you are satisfied with the cowl's position, the holes for the retaining screws can
be drilled through the cowl and into the nose bulkhead.
Working from the lines marked on the tape, measure off the position of the screw-
holes on both sides (two left, two right). The screw-holes should be drilled through
